A voice startled her out of her thoughts, and she slowly unwound herself. Blinking twice, a bit wide eyed, she stared at the boy. "T-they don't like my... extra appendages," she felt scared to actually say ears and tails, something she shouldn't have been scared of. But she was, because the guards and the scientists had made her that way. The teasing and pain, within the few weeks she was here, they tortured her. Though she still didn't know how the boy would react to her, so she tried to stop her ears from flicking so much, but at any sign of footsteps they did move back and forth a bit.
Beginning to inch forward, she only stopped when she got to the bars and was sort of sitting next to him, or as much as she could be 'next to him' when she was locked behind bars. "Are you okay?", his groan had startled her, and she touched his shoulder lightly
[ Alex was speaking to Sam, right? If not ignore this. XD ]
Hearing a voice behind her, well a voice besides the shouting guards, she slid to a stop and turned back to face it. Her hackles were raised, teeth showing. Slowly the guards backed, leaving her go, but they went after the snake. For a moment, Harley actually debated running off right then. It wouldn't be hard, and they likely wouldn't kill the snake. If they killed the person, they couldn't use them anymore. But they would also probably torture the girl quite badly.
It was then that the guards began trying to poke her again, making her let out a growl and and lunge at them. Pathetic idiots, they tried to use little sticks with knives at the end to hurt her, like it fazed her in the slightest. After she was finished, managing to only tear a few shirts and not having to actually seriously damage any of them, she jumped away from the snake and prepared to slink back to her cell. It seemed the game was over.
